Observing Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in solar blowout jet

Hou, Yijun; Yang, Shuhong; Zhang, Jun +2 more

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a basic physical process in fluids and magnetized plasmas, with applications successfully modelling e.g. exponentially growing instabilities observed at magnetospheric and heliospheric boundaries, in the solar or Earth's atmosphere and within astrophysical jets. Here, we report the discovery of the KHI in sola…
